In
spite of a nagging inability to turn a profit after twenty-five years as
an underground rock musician, an obsession with KISS has supplied CM
Gorey with a wealth of musical and comedic inspiration. MADE-UP!
MOSTLY TRUE FLASHBACKS OF FATE, FEAR, AND KISS recounts the bewildering
story of passionate rock star dreams on Long Island, dangerous
ex-girlfriends and their mothers, confounding brushes with stardom, true
love in New York City goth clubs, existential futility, and a chronic
preoccupation with dissecting the most difficult parts of the KISS
discography.
